Professional Wheel Lift Towing Services Throughout Jackson Heights, Queens
Wheel lift towing is the classic and most common form of tow truck service. Instead of loading a vehicle onto a flatbed, a hydraulic yoke lifts the vehicle's drive wheels off the ground while the non-drive wheels roll on the pavement. This method is fast, efficient, and works well for most standard vehicles that are still operational or recently disabled. Working Jackson Heights is different from working a generic Queens ZIP — the co-op apartment buildings, garden apartments, historic Tudor buildings create parking and access challenges you only learn by being here. Our drivers service this neighborhood daily, so when the call comes in from near St. Joan of Arc Church or Garden School, they already know the best approach, where to stage the truck, and how to keep the job moving.
